Factors Affecting The Growth Of *Didymosphenia Geminata* In New Zealand Rivers: Flow, Bed Disturbance, Nutrients, Light, And Seasonal Dynamics.

Cullis , James D 1 1 Civil Environmental and Architectural Engineering (CEAE) and Institute for Arctic and Alpine Research (INSTAAR) Didymosphenia geminata (didymo) was introduced into a New Zealand river in 2004, and since then has dramatically spread to cover the beds of many rivers with extremely dense and extensive...

Soybeans Grown In Elevated Ozone Show Decreased Evapotranspiration That Could Have Implications On Midwest Climate And Hydrology

Casetllani , Benjamin B 1 1 Univeristy of Colorado at Boulder As a result of increasing anthropogenic emissions of pollutants, tropospheric ozone levels are projected to rise 40 to 60 percent by the year 2100 (IPCC 2007). This study focuses on the effect that this increase would have on the...

Interannual Forecasting Of Upper Colorado River Flow

Bracken , Cameron W 1 ; Rajagopalan , Balaji 2 1 University of Colorado at Boulder 2 University of Colorado at Boulder Current operational forecasting methods in the Upper Colorado River Basin (UCRB) use antecedent flow and soil moisture conditions, snowpack and climate indices (Brandon, 2005). Experimental methods include large...

Flood Scaling And Network Geometry - Exploring The Role Of The Width Function

Anderson , Scott 1 ; Pitlick , John 2 1 University of Colorado at Boulder, Geography 2 University of Colorado at Boulder, Geography Flooding and flood processes play an integral role in the geomorphological and ecological systems of landscapes, and can have large impacts on human developments. Changing climate has...

Abeysinghe , Nadeeka 1 ; Neupauer , Roseanna 2 ; Mays , David 3 1 University of Colorado at Boulder 2 University of Colorado at Boulder 3 University of Colorado at Denver Remediation of contaminated groundwater may involve the injection of a treatment solution into the aquifer to simulate degradation...

A Localized Climate And Glacier Record Extending Through The Little Ice Age For Lyell And Maclure Glaciers Using Tree Ring Analysis

Abel , Kali M 1 1 University of Colorado, Boulder and INSTAAR Yosemite’s small glaciers are rapidly retreating, impacting a critical source of late-season cold water for the upper Tuolumne River ecosystem. Addressing quantitatively how glaciers will respond to present and future climate change demands that we understand how small...

How Evapotranspiration And Deep Percolation Impact The Precipitation-Runoff Response, Aquifer Recharge And Linked Nutrient-Cycling In A High-Elevation Catchment In Colorado

Zeliff , Morgan 1 ; Williams , Mark 2 ; Cowie , Rory 3 ; Knowles , John 4 ; Burns , Sean 5 1 University of Colorado 2 University of Colorado 3 University of Colorado 4 University of Colorado 5 University of Colorado Here we evaluate how evapotranspiration (ET)...

Drainage Evolution In North America Since The Last Glacial Maximum

Wickert , Andrew D. 1 ; Anderson , Robert S. 2 ; Mitrovica , Jerry X. 3 1 University of Colorado 2 University of Colorado 3 Harvard University Glacial cycles modified North American river systems by drastically changing drainage basin areas, patterns of precipitation, and meltwater delivery to channels. We...
